First sonic song - Page 2

king_buzzo · 06.11.2007, 11:51 AM

Hmm, Pattern Recognition, I might have heard something else before, but I must have been unaware. Something like Kool Thing.

_tunic_ · 06.11.2007, 12:15 PM

The first time I heard Sonic Youth, it was live ( http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/cc/090191.html ) and I ran away with a screaming headache after ten minutes. So first song has to be Schizophrenia. They were the closing act of a festival, we didn't mind leaving early.
A couple of months later I did get into them, probably via one of my housemates at the time. Or perhaps it was a year later when Dirty was released.

Teenage Riot, from the 'screaming fields of sonic love' album.

GrungeMonkey · 06.11.2007, 12:31 PM

100%

Just cos I bought Dirty first and its the first track on it. Loved it then, still love it now. Just thought that Thurston Moore was just a level above what I previously thought cool was. Like what someone else said, I tend to prefer Lee's songs now...

Mote. Instant love and nothing has changed.

hirsute_biped · 06.11.2007, 06:53 PM

not sure exactly, i might have heard "bull in the heather" or "kool thing" or "dirty boots" somewhere, but my first sonic purchase was DAYDREAM NATION on cassette(!), and i totally didn't get it at first. just sounded so chaotic, and i remember being puzzled how they could remember how to play these messy songs. then i worked painting houses with this guy who had a cassette copy of DIRTY (as well a tape of Diecide and Dr. Know, and another of the Steve Miller Band, and i hated those tapes with a passion), and i understood DIRTY tape better at the time. i really liked DIRTY, bought it, then i went back and de-coded DDN, fell in love, and went out and bought everything i could...

I picked up goo because my friend was always saying how awesome it is, I put the cd on and skipped through the tracks, for no reason at all really accept I wanted to listen to the last song first and that was 'Titanium Expose', and oh what a song it is.

(she's in a) bad mood...
i was really scared... seriously!

zulfiqar · 06.12.2007, 03:06 AM

I can't remember.

pattern recognition, probably. I listened sonic nurse after someone recommended them, I think.

it took a couple listens to appreciate though.

andrei · 06.12.2007, 06:20 AM

My first song was half of Sugar Kane, recorded by my father from an US radio station. Unfortunately, it was the end three minutes of the cassette. They seemed ok, but i wasn't much impressed... "just another alternative band" Then i've found a russian bootleg Mp3 CD with 6 of their albums and a Free Kitten tune. I've listened Bad Moon Rising and i was fucking scared. That's one of their best albums in my opinion.

atsonicpark · 06.12.2007, 08:32 AM

really interesting what hirsute said about the "how did they play these messy songs?" thing.

i remember the first time i heard melt banana, i guess it was.. uh.. 8 years ago now.. jesus.. that's a long ass time ago.. am i getting that old? god damn.. uhhhhhh.. yeah.. anyway... the first song i heard was "spathic!!!!!!" and i was like, "There's no way they're actually PLAYING this." it just sounded so cartoony, so unreal, and I was just in awe.

i don't think many bands have done that to me, but yeah.. i thought that was interesting what you said.

_slavo_ · 06.12.2007, 10:38 AM

"Little Trouble Girl"

I thought Sonic Youth had two female singers back then and was really surprised when I realized they didn't

.

HECKLER SPRAY · 06.12.2007, 10:52 AM

It was a good surprise, I suppose.

Sonic Youth 37 · 06.12.2007, 12:30 PM

Teen Age Riot, and at first I compared them to the Pixies
